Not yet, in year 4 now. I think the first time it happened to me was in year 2?

I tried what i described above and it doesn’t work....so basically Im stuck at year 5.

How many file backups did you have?

Just one. I honestly would never think in a million years to have more then that. It's sad. I loaded it, entered a game and quickly exited. It kicked me back to the main screen.

So I started a online chise, repeated entering and exiting, it worked with no kicking me. I hate doing online stuff, but who knows when or if they will patch it.

Maybe they don't have 30 years of draft classes yet. They rely on update patches for everything, why not send an unfinished draft class at the start, then include an update when they fix all the other neglected bull****.

Re: Offline franchise loading issue

I have the same issue going on right now. I am in year 4 I save typically every week. I can load week 5 but the second I play my game in week 6 it crashes at end of that game. Then won't load. I'm stuck. I have a file that will load but I can't play it. Cloud CFM doesn't seem to be like this. I wonder what the issue is...

Re: Offline franchise loading issue

Didn’t see anything in the patch notes discussing this problem. Gonna assume its wasn’t addressed. This is gonna be an issue though when more people start to reach that 5 and 6 year level.

Re: Offline franchise loading issue

Ok....post patch I deleted the corrupted files and loaded a good file that was in the off-season prior to my year 5. I went ahead and simmed to year 5 and then simmed to year 6. I played a real quick game (1 minute quarters). It let me play and after the game I saved my franchise. When I loaded it up I got the blue screen and file corruption. So it looks like the patch didn’t address it and I’m not starting an online one because I hated being at the mercy of the connection. I’d love to hear any possible workarounds sev but it’s looking like an offline franchise this year is only capable of 5 seasons. My system is a PS4 with multiple draft classes used.

Looks like I’m going back to M18 for my football fix. I’m just an offline franchise guys and I’ve got a M18 that like 17 or 18 seasons in. Just sucks losing the play of 4 years on M19.

Yup, don't know how this is so under the radar here at OS. I feel like there is a lot of offline Franchise junkies here

Nevertheless, I can't get past year 5 without a file corruption, backup saves or not. This goes for just simming and/or playing games. What a bummer. I used to love putting together a team and simming multiple seasons to see what happens. I will have to go strictly online but god do I hate that, especially since you can't have multiple save files.

You would think before the game is released they would have people sim multiple franchises to see what's up. Seems like it'd take a day of someone's work, if that.

I don’t know how many people play 5+ years (I’ve probably played 5+ on 10 of the last 12-13 maddens...I’ve a binder that has a Niners universe comprised of 105 seasons that goes back to madden 99). It’s my driving force to play the game. I’d assume this is gonna become a big issue as guys start to turn out seasons.

Re: Offline franchise loading issue

Has anyone tried simulating all of the 5th season and seeing if the same problem occurred in season 6?

I encountered this problem in one of my franchise's and instead loaded up a backup save that I had at the start of season 5 and when simming to halfway (week 9-11 can't really remember sorry) and then quitting out and re-loading my franchise I got the same crash as I had previously gotten where I would be sent to the home screen (Xbox).

However, when I simmed the entirety of the 5th season and then saved and quit during the off season I was able to successfully load my save and continue playing.

I did not go any further than this so if anyone else can test and see if they have the same luck and are able to play their franchise in the 6th season that'd be sweet, I'm going to try and test out in a couple of days when I have more spare time.

Re: Offline franchise loading issue

I was looking at the tech support thread over at EA about this problem and an EA support guy named EABarry said to see if yesterdays 1.11 patch did anything for the franchise corruption issue. I haven't tried yet because Im at work.

If anyone is available to see if they can play a game in year 5 or 6, save the franchise and then be able to reload it that would be cool. Ive got a save file from the off season before year 5 I will test when I get home.

So last night I loaded a file of week 3 year 4. I simmed 2 games no problem. Then played week 6 and game crashes at end of game once you hit exit game. So, patch didn't fix it.

I loaded my offseason prior to year 5 back up and simmed to year 5. I played a game saved and attempted to reload. It locked up. No blue screen, but a hard lock nontheless.

So at this point I’m just gonna play M18 and try to finish the 30 years. I really have no drive to start another franchise on M19. I’ve got a feeling if EA doesn’t get on top of this bug you are gonna see an epidemic of people having their progress stopped as this year 5/6 bug gets them.

There is still no fix for this.

Pretty ridiculous. Does it happen to everyone or can some people luck out and never run into it? I know not everyone gets 4-5+ years deep so I know it won’t be an issue for all CFM players but that’s kind of a mode breaking bug. I wouldn’t want to play several seasons worth and spend so much time playing the CFM just to lose it because of a bug. I wouldn’t want to even risk wasting my time like that even if it doesn’t happen to every singe person. How is this still not fixed?

Oh wait that’s right, it’s a significant CFM issue rather then a significant MUT problem. If it was a problem with MUT they would have been right on it and fixed it a long time ago.
